McGee is also a graffiti artist, known by the tag "Twist."

@cultured510
i still like his work, but it's a slippery slope
wondering how others perceive whether you've sold
out or not-especially 13 years olds that haven't had the
experience of trying to support themselves let alone support
themselves with their artwork. Hopefully he's inspiring some
of those 13 year olds to make more art. :)
